Kazuya Nakai's voice for a DB character

Post by DragonBallFoodie » Thu May 25, 2017 5:03 am

Kazuya Nakai, the voice of Tagoma, is best known as the voice of Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) and Hijikata (Gintama), a mayonnaise-eating samurai.

It would have been hilarious if his character had instead been named Mayonnaise, as a homage to his Gintama role. Or would it be too obvious a joke for DB?

NO PUN IS TOO OBVIOUS FOR DRAGON BALL!

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

I would like if they gave to him a major role in Dragon Ball. Tagoma is just a minor character, but he is a top-notch actor.

It's technically already been done with Neiz, one of the member's of Cooler's Armored Squadron. Also Mayonne (Flea in the English version) from Chrono Trigger, if one wants to count that since Toriyama.
